Media Sponsors

“Radio Wanaka broadcasts on 92.2 FM & 97FM in Wanaka and 99.1 FM in Cromwell. Sister-station ‘Roy’ broadcasts on 94.6FM. The two are Wanaka’s only locally owned and operated radio stations and as usual will be playing a big role in the lead-up to the race.

Radio Wanaka’s owner Mike Regal completed last year’s 95km Contact Classic at a gentlemanly pace and reckons it’s got to be the best mountain bike race in the country. He’s back in 2014 hoping for a better time and better weather while Radio Wanaka breakfast host Bradley Craig will be on site at the Lake Hawea Hotel welcoming the competitors home”
